BOOK REVIEW #9 (Rapunzel)

Mr. and Mrs. Rose lived in a small house that looked onto a beautiful garden. A garden they never dare enter because it belonged to a wicked and powerful witch. Mrs. Rose was in a family way and she was very big eater, she had spent a lot of time thinking about food. One day, she really wanted to eat a vegetable which in the garden. The vegetable is rapunzel. So Mr. Rose had no alternative but to creep into the witch’s garden. But he was found by the witch. The witch said that “I’ll make a deal with you. You can have as much rapunzel as you like, but you must give me the baby as soon as it’s born.” Mr. Rose was so terrified, he agreed. Then as soon as his wife gave birth to their daughter, the witch appeared. She snatched the baby, and vanished. The baby is named Rapunzel, she lived with the witch for eleven years. She was treated like a slave. The older she grew, the more beautiful Rapunzel became. And she had very long hair. The witch thought that “I don’t want any young men running off with her.” So the witch shut her into a tower. There was no way out, no stairs, no door. Four years went by. One day, a young and handsome prince rode through the forest. And the prince found her and he climbed up her long hair. He saved her and he disposed of the witch. She was reunited with her family and she got married the prince. It is a story with a happy ending. But I thought that the father was very bad. I thought that it was very awful to give his baby to the witch as a sacrifice instead of food. Rapunzel had blue eyes and long golden long hair, I want to see such beautiful girl^^
